Inspiring Careers is a series of seminars designed to inspire ICFO’s researchers by highlighting successful careers of scientists that have taken unconventional paths, with the objectives to open new opportunities when it comes to deciding about the next career step.

A wide range of career options, focusing on those less explored, will be presented through a journey into the professional experience of the invited speakers.

A networking session with coffee will be held after the seminars to follow the conversation in a more informal setting.
